Rumors are that he OKed a workout with him. They signed Matt McGloin but I'm sure that's familiarity because there is a game.in 3 days, he could be gone Monday.

He is so fun to watch and he looked like a superstar in the making. Just brutal. Awful, good dude and amazing player. Was becoming a star. The NFL is basically who can stay healthy, because injuries are just increasing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I just old or have people not heard that expression before? Granted he butchered it but the expression is "not letting the inmates run the asylum." It just means that you don't let the employees run the business. That's the employers job. He wasn't really calling them prisoners.

I've heard that applied many times in families to the children, who are not capable of making reasonable decisions! But if my boss were to say that of us, when there are so many better ways of indicating we can't always be making democratic decisions, I'd think "f*** you" too.

I think saying something like that in the context of discussing the players protests(and what they are about) is where it was really a poor choice of an analogy.

I think the change from asylum to prison is a pretty big slip up given the racial composition of the owners and the players and what the protests are about in the first place.

Yeah, that's the subtext that made it a messed up statement. Whether or not that implication was intentional, that's the way a lot of people are going to take it. Or at least give it a pretty skeptical look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyyle23 Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Originally I thought this collusion case was gonna get tossed quickly, but someone must know there is definitive proof of collusion somewhere.

GGajewski18 Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 Goodell needs to hand over his email and phone records in this Kaep collusion case. I really hope he's a big enough idiot to collude and this could fire him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanne Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Tell ya what too...CBS made an incredibly great choice replacing Phil Simms (who was like nails on a chalkboard)...with Tony Romo. Romo's been great so far IMO...and has quickly turned in to probably my favorite announcer. He does an incredible job in the booth with some great analysis.
